Default Alright people, I'm starting a new trend, now everybody follow me :P

Everybody follow me so I won't feel so bad about having a mismatched front end. Oh well, it doesn't look too terribly bad, the paint on the black pieces is pretty nice. Hey at least my car is symmetrical now (black fenders on both sides, and new OEM Stanley sidemarkers on both sides).

For those who don't remember, this is the front end I installed after my wreck, I was running around w/ one black fender and one green fender for awhile: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=722393

The last pic looked neat.
But seriously, what's the reason behind this.

Sorry I guess you didn't see my last thread, I edited my post above to include the link: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=722393

I had installed this 2000 front end after wrecking my car, but I only installed one black fender at the time. Now I have both fenders and new sidemarkers on both sides. I can't afford to get it painted until the summer, but at least it looks a little better now.

Nothing JDM here.

I just said "starting a new trend" in the title as a joke. You see all these people with mismatched black unpainted carbon fiber hoods, and sometimes even fenders and front lips... well my car has a matching metal hood, but with a black bumper and fenders.

my roommates g/f actually saw me going the other way on the interstate last Friday, and asked my roommate if I had put a nose mask on my car. I'm surprised she recognized my car.

Looking good Patrick, you have inspired me to do the 98+ front end. Looks great. Waiting to see pics of it BG-33P.

It actually looks kind of mean from the front. It'll look dope when it's all matched up though. BTW, what kind of headlights are you running?

Don't paint it. Leave it as is.
